Hangover Hell

Chapter Ten: He drives me insane!

*******

"Are you game enough to knock on the door first?" Lance challenged Jubilee and Bobby almost hopefully.

"Don't tell me you're afraid of big bad scary Principal Kelly" Jubilee teased

"Of course not Jubilee, I just wanted to see how scared of him you two were, 'specially before we get expelled." Lance retorted trailing off.

"Sure thing Lance, we're petrified, seeing as you're not, be our guest and knock on the door while we just stand over there" Bobby smiled slapping Lance on the shoulder and pointing to some lockers about 10 meters away from the principal's door.

"Good plan Bobby" Jubilee agreed clapping her hands together, "Besides he wouldn't really have to see us considering it wasn't even our fault"

"No you don't, we're doing this TOGETHER" Lance smirked emphasizing 'together' so they couldn't miss it.

Suppressing a groan Jubilee just smiled meekly, Bobby, however didn't hold back the groan as Lance's fist rose to knock at the principal's door.

The principal jerked open the door roughly looking very angry and annoyed.

"Hey Principal Kelly sir!" Lance greeted lightly slapping the principal on his back, "What's up buddy?"

Jubilee raised her eyebrows and tapped her foot lightly, and Bobby caught that with a slight frown.

"What is it that you want Mr Alvers?" Principal Kelly asked with a provoked and lifeless tone, "Or more precisely, what is it that you've done this time?"

"C'mon, loosen up, can't a kid see his principal without wanting something or being sent to him?" Lance pushed on

"No" Principal Kelly replied rather tersely.

Jubilee rolled her eyes sarcastically, this was going to be a long morning, she wasn't that thrilled to be spending it at the principal's office, although excitement was running through her and Lance sure made it look fun.

Amara marched out of the store, her temper now over the top. 'He's SO annoying!' she decided walking back to the direction of the school, 'He drove me into going back to school even! Wait 'till I tell Jubes about this...errrr'

After Kitty cheered up a bit, she went to class and did everything she normally would do. She noted that Scott had been going out of his way to use every excuse to avoid her. She felt slightly guilty about that.

Another thing had been hanging over in her mind, first of all, how everyone seemed to look at her oddly today, and how long it would be before Jean decided to go through her head and find out exactly what happened.

She was getting pretty close to her class when she saw a bunch of juniors whisper something while eying her, almost as if they were talking about her.

Deciding that she'd had enough she sauntered straight past her class and went in search of her best friend's locker. (Technically, Rogue is her best friend, but she also has an anti-mutant best friend kay?)

First she wanted to know what kind of stuff were being said about her and second, she wanted to confide in just what happened last night. She couldn't tell Rogue 'cause Pietro was the x-men's enemy and that would just complicate things, but if she told Crystal (her non-mutant best friend) she'd be more understanding and 'merciful.'

'Well, I guess that settles it, after I ask what kinda rumors have been going on about me, I'll tell her after I got drunk last night, I slept with Pietro' Kitty summed up.

Kitty soon arrived at Crystal's locker and saw she was still there shoving books in and out of it.

Smiling, she got closer and put her hands over Crystal's eyes, "Guess who?" Kitty teased.

"Oh, oh.. That's a hard one! Ummmm.. Kitty?" Crystal giggled turning around when Kitty took her hands away.

"So, hey what's up? S'not like ya to be wanderin' round when class is about to start." Crystal asked nicely

"Well.. I kinda like wanna know what's going around about me, you know, like, the rumors," Kitty replied tossing her hair back.

"Uh? You mean you don't know?" Crystal questioned disbelievingly

"Not a clue. Like what's being said?" Kitty wandered out loud.

Crystal laughed, "My God, it's gotta be the most absurd rumor. Just forget it's even going around! They're totally saying you slept with Pietro last night, and hey even I know that's complete bullshit. AND as your best friend I know that you'd never ever do such a thing! People are saying that it's impossible but that's what they heard it. They're just spreading it for the sake of it. Anyways. I gotta tell ya something"

Kitty gulped and forced a smile, "Sure, like what's this something you like wanna tell me?"

"Mmkay, I have a MASSIVE crush on Pietro!" She squealed but not loud enough for anyone else to hear.

"Like WHAT!?" Kitty exclaimed wide-eyed.

"Please tell me you're not all mad at me now. I just totally love him now. That's okay with you, right?" Crystal asked

"Of course I'm not like mad at you, but Pietro? I just never like, even thought that it was possible. But the rumors going round. They don't bother you?" Kitty tried to keep in focus 'Great she loves him. How the hell am I going to, like, tell her that I slept with him. And my God how did this rumor even get out!? Pietro sure as hell wouldn't, like, start something like this'

"No way, number one, I've now got an excuse to talk to him, since you're my best friend and all, AND number two since the rumors are about you, no one will be on my case, they'll all think it's more of a you and Pietro thing, while I can make my moves" Crystal schemed

"You're sooo evil!" Kitty joked, "Hey I better get going, thanks for the update and see ya later."

"Sure hun, I'm going to skip this block, but I'll be around for next block"

"Kay"

With that they gave each other a big hug and went off in separate directions. Unfortunately Kitty had just gotten in a worse mood.

*******

Amara, in a worse mood than before marched back into school and walked past some lockers along the way she saw Bobby, Lance and Jubilee standing together in front of the Principal's office WITH the principle.

'My god.. Jubes, at the principal's office, what in the world?' she gasped and continued to walk forward staring at the four when she fell on impact.

"What is with your obsession with bumping into me?" A jokey Australian accented voice came.

"You" Amara accused, "What in the world are you doing in MY way, in MY school and-"

"Your universe, your life.. whatever. You li'l center of the universe chicks gotta get a life, you're way too predictable" St John interrupted

"Predictable?" Amara repeated firmly.

"Yea, you own everything, every word has 'MY' before it, same routine every morning, go to school, leave it, can't take someone that was right, come running back to school-"

"You know damn well that that's not the way it goes" She snapped

"Yeah whatever.. Chill out some will ya? Here" St John surrendered shoving the stuff that fell out of her bag back to her, "You got some anger to control.. So much anger.. Where does it come from?" He continued sarcastically before walking off leaving a fuming and growling Amara.

"He drives me insane!" She hissed through gritted teeth.

*******

Rogue and Remy had been riding on his motorbike for over an hour now and Rogue was getting a little tired of holding on to him so tightly.

"Are we going tah take a break swamp rat? Ah'm feelin' just a tad overdriven" Rogue managed to get out

"Y'need a break chere? Remy don't mind, hey dere's a li'l rest'rant over dere, let's stop there" Remy replied thoughtfully

"Thank yuh Swamp Rat" Rogue smiled ruefully, "Sorry tah be a botha"

"You're no bother Chere, Remy be grateful you'd skip school f'me"

"Rogue" Rogue corrected in a mock-annoyed tone.
